YaSaas

Free, open-source Django + React starter for data-monetization SaaS

Best for: Solo developers or small teams building a data-monetization SaaS around Django's own admin and permissions who want a free, inspectable starting point.
Skip if: You need multi-tenancy, teams, or a maintained/supported product - this is a small, single-maintainer open-source project with no visible commercial support.

YaSaas is a free, MIT-licensed SaaS boilerplate built on Django REST Framework and React, aimed at entrepreneurs monetizing data products through Django's own admin and permission system. It ships email-verified authentication with social login, Stripe subscription billing, dynamic column/action visibility by user group, login history and action-tracking, and a Django Admin-driven dashboard for managing frontend content. It's a small project (roughly 125 GitHub stars) maintained by a single developer (roperi).

Pros

Completely free and MIT-licensed, with the full source on GitHub to inspect before you build on it.
Leans on Django's own admin and permission system for access control rather than reinventing one, which keeps the surface area small.
Stripe subscriptions and social login are both included despite the project's small size.
Login history and action-tracking ship out of the box, which is useful audit tooling most free kits skip.

Cons

Small project (~125 GitHub stars) maintained by one developer - there's no visible team, roadmap, or support commitment behind it.
No multi-tenancy, teams, or organizations - it's built around single-user/admin data access, not B2B SaaS with customer accounts.
Older dependency versions on the frontend (React 18, TypeScript 4) compared to more actively-updated competitors.
